A film by Tia Glista (Gallatin BA ’20)

“Map, Mapping, Mapped” is a dance film shot on Super 8 in Manhattan’s East Village and Downtown Manhattan. Against maps, guidelines, and conventions that determine the body’s movements and mobility, this dance film offers possibilities for discovering space autonomously, guided by impulse and imagination. It seeks to dislocate the viewer and make them think consciously and deliberately about how they experience space.

Land Acknowledgement The Gallatin Galleries is located on the traditional territory of the Lenni-Lenape, called “Lenapehoking.” The Lenape People lived in this territory in harmony for thousands of years. During the colonial era and early federal period, many were removed, but some also remain among the historical tribal communities of the region. We acknowledge the Lenni-Lenape as the original people of this land and their continuing relationship with their territory and we affirm the aspiration of the Lenape Chief Tamanend, that there be harmony between the Indigenous people of this land and the descendants of the immigrants to this land.
